Expectation vs. Reality: Piercing Edition 🌸
​It’s completely normal for a healing piercing to have a few dramatic moments along the way. One week it looks like an absolute dream, and the next you’ve caught it on a towel or slept funny and it’s grumpy all over again!
If your piercing is throwing a little tantrum right now, don’t panic:
✨Keep up with your sterile saline (and nothing else—no tea tree oil or random creams!).
✨Dry your new piercing THOROUGHLY anytime it gets wet (yes.. this includes cleaning!) - hairdryers are your friend!
✨Try your best not to sleep on it— piercing pillows are an absolute lifesaver for ear piercings!
✨ Downsize when it's ready! Once the initial swelling drops, shorter jewellery stops it from catching on everything.
